==Personality==
Hongo is quick-tempered, very powerful, and likes to be in control of other Spirits. He shows that he can be very pious, as he wanted to help Yoshi and did not bring Yoshi Island back to normal because Bowser would attack the island again. Also, he allows the [[Spirit Who Loves Surprises]] which was banished to go back into his council.
 
While it appears as if Hongo is the Spirits' Leader, it is unknown if the Spirits have a higher leader than Hongo.
